Gerry- How many times have you eaten there? It is a step above many of the popular restaurants- Brindisis, Circus Cafe and Gotcha’s come to mind. We’ve enjoyed fine meals at Mouzon, Lanci’s, Maestro’s, Max London’s, Springwater, Beekman St.and more. The ambience and service at the Mouzon House is second to none and you couldn’t ask for better hosts than Diane and Dave Pedinotti. It seems to me your posts are just a chance to complain no matter the topic regarding Saratoga.

It is very overpriced, jazz. Inexcusably so, in these times. Yes, it’s better than the 3 you mentioned but the posting wasn’t about them.I disagree with you about Mouzon and Lanci’s. I consider Max’s, Springwater, and Beekman far above them. How is that complaining? What’s wrong with disagreeing about a restaurant?

I’m talking about complaining about just about anything Saratoga. Hampton Inn, development (condos), and parking just to name a few. Again I ask how many times have you been to the Mouzon? Are you aware Lanci’s is now small plates and quite affordable. As far as quality goes that is a matter of opinion. We differ strongly.

Jazz, it’s clear from the first syllable of your username why you’re so partial to the Pedinotti’s. I don’t understand where you’ve gotten your imprssions. Although I’m a relative newcomer to SS–I’ve only lived here 32 years–I love it and think it’s the best small city I’ve ever been to. Against condos? Are you nuts? I LIVE in one right downtown. And I moved downtown to be right near all of our wonderful restaurants. Sorry I can’t get to every place in town soon enough or frequently enough for you. Some of us are a little low on cash right now. Obviously you are not. I’ve been to MH twice and One Caroline several times. They both have terrific atmosphere. I love One as a nightclub, just not wild about its food. MH’s food is very good, just overpriced. I LOVE development and I love all things Saratoga. You have me confused with someone else.

Sorry, but I have a hard time taking any restaurant seriously that closes 5 days a week ie: Mouzon House and Lancis. Seems to me if a restaurant is busy, profitable and successful it would be open more than 2-3 days per week. Been to Lancis a few time, didn’t like it. Never been to The Mouzon House and would not go now knowing they only open on weekends. I would worry about food freshness. I agree that Beekman Street and Maestros are both wonderful. Springwater seems to be going downhill. I would add Dine to the list of good ones and Max Londons is better than some but not great. Just my opinion.
